Our "How we met" video is here! Our communication was amazing, and the DMs were lit!

Oh yeah, finally the first podcast. In this episode of The Merge with Brenian and Jessica, they dive into how they met and the ways they were in great communication with one another. From their constant communication via Instagram DM's to meeting up during Covid, their story was just getting started. Brenian was intentional about dating, clear communication, and commitment. After many conversations about love, marriage, dating, understanding, and challenges, they agreed to ask the tough questions and waste no time. Regardless, the truth remained, communication was the key to it all.
This is our sentiment:
Communication is crucial in any healthy relationship, especially when it comes to purposeful dating. In relationships, communication allows you and your person to build trust, express emotions, and work through any challenges that arise. In fact, communication is often considered the cornerstone of a successful relationship, as it promotes understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. When dating, clear and open communication can help both of you understand each other's needs and expectations, ensuring that you two are on the same page. By fostering effective communication during the dating phase and relationship, you guys can establish a strong foundation that can lead to a long-lasting, fulfilling relationship. In short, healthy relationships require good communication, and dating is no exception.
If you are asking questions like the questions below, watch this video about how we met all the way through, especially toward the end:
1. How did you two meet?
2. Was it love at first sight?
3. Who made the first move?
4. What was your first date like?
5. How did you know you were meant to be together in a long-term relationship?
6. What qualities do you love most about your partner?
7. What challenges have you faced as a couple in your relationship?
8. What do you think makes your relationship work?
9. How have you grown and changed as a couple over time?
10. What advice would you give to others looking for love?
11. How important was effective communication?
Any particular questions about How did we meet or the questions above you'd like for us to answer in another podcast?

There have been so many break ups, trials and tribulations and I've lost hope and the motivation to even continue the relationship before. Now we are working on our relationship with GOD , individually and as a couple and honestly it is life changing of course we still have some rough patches and some things we are still healing from but with GOD, Anything is possible and I really see the changes in our relationship and I am really proud of us. Your video is just so wholesome, encouraging and beautiful. I wish you all the best and it was such a beautiful proposal❤❤❤.

    Its crazy how I was led to ur channel... Y'all proposal video came across my newsfeed on KZread but I hadn't watched it yet. I told myself I was going to come back to it . Fast forward 2 days after y'all video coming across my newsfeed I was listening to a prophetess who mentioned y'all video and what ur podcast was called and I instantly remembered y'all video. I feel GOD has showed me several times who my kingdom spouse is but I stay asking for confirmation to make sure I'm hearing right and not that this is what I'm trying to manifest on my own without HIM. What's even crazier is GOD showed me how when me and my kingdom spouse come together through our story we will show other ppl how GOD is very much real and will lead our footsteps through a podcast and now here I am looking at y'all podcast where GOD definitely brought y'all together. I'm trying to wrap my head around what is GOD trying to show /tell me through y'all? Yall are a beautiful couple and I cried like a baby when Jess finally realized u was on ur knees waiting to propose... Congratulations!

    Wow! You two amazing Godly love story, blessed my soul. Listening to the young man, how he pursued after you, and how young woman, you finally realized God sent him to you! Wow! Thanks for sharing your amazing story. Listening to all and the end part, really had me tear up. I am so happy for you two! Recently God has blessed me to here your love story and others. God is blessing the younger couples to teach the older people. Wow! I am a older woman, had a previous bad, unGodly, 30 year marriage, that ended years ago. I gave my life to Jesus Christ! Over 30 years ago. I have been waiting, patiently, praying for God to send me the right Godly kingdom husband that I need in my life. It's never too late! God is good! You two are a beautiful young couple, that has inspired me! Gods timing is the best! I know he is soon going to bless me with my prayer husband. My latter shall be greater! God shall perform that which He promised! 🙏 Praying for all men and women that desire their Godly kingdom spouse, marriage. May our great God bless you two and everyone! I subscribed and want to continue hearing about your blessed marriage union!

    Omg, this was a beautiful love story by God. I'm sort of in a similar situation except the guy that pursued me online is pulling back & saying that he knows that he can't fully give me what I need emotionally right now & he thinks it's unfair to me. We are long distance;I'm in FL & he's in CO. We are going to be friends right now... I know in my heart that I want to be with him in marriage, yet I have to let God do it His way & lean not on my own understanding. I'm not giving up! 😊

I watched this entire video on my lunch break 😂😂 You made a good point Jessica ! As much as I am open to what God brings (I think 😂) I still have reservations as in being in a relationship receiving the effort and being vulnerable. I pray for a man that’s patient because it will take me a lot .. of time. Beautiful story !! God bless you both.

    It’s crazy cause I’m 23 and I feel this pressure from everyone around me to find that person. I am honestly not sure how dating even works anymore. I find myself stressing on weather I’ll be single because I’m not dating around like everyone else. As a woman should I be taking initiative when it comes to finding my person?

    Hello Mariah, thanks for subscribing and being engaged with our content, we don't take it for granted. We truly appreciate you. What we would suggest first is to 1. Love God. Understand how much he loves you, how he loves you and understand the extent he went to prove just that by sending us his son, Jesus. Secondly, Love Yourself! Wheew, it'll take some getting used to but love on yourself in every way possible. Get to know yourself, go out on solo dates, spend time in the word of God, ask the Lord to show you you, take care of your health, and exercise if physically possible; it'll help boost confidence and a host of other benefits. Read motivational books and listen to uplifting music and be around people like so. Also, you are young so work on yourself, educate yourself, and gain skills in the meantime and be open to possibility, be it the Lord's will. In addition, connect with likeminded women, find a mentor and above all guard your heart. Lastly, become discoverable if dating intentionally is your desire, update your social media profile pictures, go to church and serve (hint: stay after a little while sometimes), go to networking events etc. Ensure you are to be seen, yet you don't have to be on every scene. Without making this any longer than it is, we hope this helps in every way, be encouraged.

    Men, don't ever chase any woman. That's not in God's order and now she has all the leverage in this relationship. I see why she ran from him for several months, almost positive getting broke off by guys she was chasing. Worshiping women has always been the fall of man. This lame has to learn like many men before him. She settled for this dude because she knows he'll stick around no matter what she does. This brother is going our sad!
